Cougars - 03/07/12

Technique & Strength Work


Power Snatches (From the floor)
  • Many, many, many sets with the bar and two enormous but thin 5kg oly weights
  • Form felt alright, focused a lot to get my start position looking ok but once I started putting some speed into it the bar was coming away from the body a bit too much, needs more shrug, I'll work on it. Excited to be going from the floor
Power Cleans (From the floor)
  • Many, many sets with the same 30kg as the snatches, but eventually moved up to 40kg
  • Miles was making me get into start position, lift bar to just above the knee, then do a power clean from hang just like normal. It'll take me a little while to get it working smooth, but it felt alright

  1. Front squats are beastly, get a smart phone so you can film your work sets. I thought it must have been weird using 5kg plates that are super thin. Soon you will be snatching 60kg from the floor with perfect form, I have faith
